Development Services for Your Screenplay

As a novelist at heart, but a collegiately trained screenwriter, story development is where my passion lies! The movie industry is flooded with * meh * scripts, and it’s my goal to help you bring a strong story to the table that stands out amongst the competition.

Want help to ensure that the ideas, concepts, characters, and worlds of a potential screenplay are working before you begin to write your screenplay? I will evaluate your screenplay outline, allowing you to see the strengths and weaknesses of your characters and stories before a single screenplay page is written.

If you do not work off of formal outlines, I can recommend templates to you, or I will read development materials or pitch decks up to 25 pages.

Upon completion of my review, I will provide you with a 3+ page PDF of strengths, weaknesses, and recommendations.

After the completion of your development notes, you are always welcome to email me with questions. However, if you would like to discuss something more in depth, I would be happy to set up an additional zoom call with you to discuss live.

Looking for a final polish on your screenplay and suggestions on clean formatting for commercial readability prior to submitting to contests or agents, consider a script formatting service. I will specifically mark on the PDF of your script.
